Most people that wind up regretting getting one because they did not really know the meaning of the tattoo in the first place.Let's first look at the Japanese culture and what the cherry blossom really means in that culture.

The Japanese cherry blossom is a flower that blooms in early spring for a very short period of time. As a result, this delicate flower represents the delicate nature of life itself. The theme of delicacy runs throughout the history of the cherry blossom and the tattoo gets much of its meaning from this understanding. Of course this ties in strongly with the eastern mystic thought and how it relates to the transient nature of life. It must be valued and lived in light of this truth.

Unlike the delicate symbol of the Japanese symbol, the Chinese symbol relates to power. The feminine power ideal is understood through the cherry blossom.
